Eggs Benedictator

Hey guys it's been a while but I am back to check up on how your cooking adventures are going. WHAT you followed my advice and now your fixin' to make her breakfast. You sly dog. Alright pimp hit her with that fancy ish... ok its not that fancy but it totally looks fancy. Honestly what version of breakfast is fancy anyways, multiple ways to scramble eggs is not fancy. I digress as usual, lets get down to what you were up to last night... the business (see what I did there <_< )


Serving:
1 So all you have to do is double what your doing for that other person. The sauce recipe is enough for 2-3 people


What you're gonna need:
Make Hollandaise Sauce: (I dont even know if you can buy this in a store and if you can, NO!)
Bowl on a hot pot of water
2-3 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons water
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, slightly hot and melted
¼ teaspoon Kosher salt, or more to taste

1/8 teaspoon pepper, or LESS
1/8 teaspoon cayenne (if you dont want to use this, use hot sauce)

(Optional) a bit of melted goat cheese
  1. In the top of a double boiler or in a medium bowl set over a pot of barely simmering water, whisk the egg yolks with the lemon juice and 2 teaspoons of water until the egg yolks are thickened and pale yellow, but still liquid. 
  2. Remove double boiler (separate), or bowl and saucepan (together), from the heat and gradually add the butter, whisking constantly to thicken.
  3. Add warm water or additional lemon juice, as needed, to thin to pouring consistency.
  4. Add salt, pepper, and cayenne and whisk well to blend. Adjust lemon juice, salt and cayenne to taste
  5. When its thick enough to coat the back of a spoon moderately heavy then your good for the next step
Poached Egg:
Poaching egg
I am doing enough for one, here is the part you double for extra person.
1 egg
1 table spoon vinegar
800ml of water for boiling
bowl of ice water 
  1. Bring water to a boil in a sauce pan. Add a tbsp of white vinegar (keeps egg uniformed). Bring heat down just below bowling, DON'T BOIL TO COOK.
  2. Crack an egg into a bowl. Gently pour the egg into the simmering water.
  3. Let the egg cook for 2 to 3 minutes depending on how runny you prefer your egg yolk to be.
  4. Remove the egg with strainer (or big spoon) and transfer the egg to the ice water. This is to stop the cooking but take out seconds after being in.
Pork:
Nothing to explain here, cook up some canadian bacon or, my preference, thick cut pepper bacon with a bit of sugar

Home fries:
Oh goodness
1-2 medium potatoes
salt to taste
pepper to taste
Canola oil
Green onion and parsley 
  1. Take a hot skillet and drizzle with canola oil. Dont let smoke it will be gross.
  2. Season potatoes and add to pan for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
  3. Add onions before taking out tatters.
  4. garnish with parsley
Toast:
Ok you can toast up some english muffins (traditional) OR
To save money and try something different use Texas toast cut the crust

Make it look like this and you are solid. You can't see it but put sauce on toast before constructing.
Get like me.
